(Man that’s a clever headline.  I am so witty.)

The Death of Entertainment—or, as some call it, the date Jimmy Fallon takes the “Late Night” reigns from Conan O’Brien—will begin a bit earlier than expected.  Lorne Michaels decided to put Fallon on the Interwebs to “work out as many of the rough spots in his presentation as possible in performances on a website.”

Read: Try his damndest not to suck so terribly that no one watches “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”  I don’t think it’s possible.  I think Fallon is going to suck hard.  He’s worse than the Iraq War.

If this were any other host—or, indeed, anyone else in the entire fucking world—it’d be an interesting idea.  Michaels intends on posting Fallon’s abortions at 12:30AM every night to get the audience in the menstrual flow.  It affords the unfunny comedian a unique opportunity to generate a “voice” and begin compiling an audience.

However, I find it hard to believe anyone will boot up their PCs during Conan to watch Fallon giggle at his own jokes to the backdrop of a silent, resentful audience.

If this doesn’t get you a little bit excited for Christmas, which is about a week away, well then bah humbug to you dear sir or ma’am.

Everything about this is just great, from the goofiness of the song and childlike chords and piano part, to Jimmy Fallon not laughing, Chris Kattan’s head move thingie and Tracy Morgan doing nothing. It’s so bizarre and wonderful at the same time, much like Christmas.

Seeing as you won’t be getting any treats like this because of the writer’s strike we’ll take what we can get. Why is Tracy Morgan relegated to being the official dancing man when we know he can sing?

And yes, this will certainly be included in our 2007 Christmas music mix that we’ll be sending you off with on Friday for the holidays. Expect some old favorites, some new ones, some to get stuck in your head and hopefully some unexpected gems.
